This place is fantastic, a lot of trees and the beach on superior lake across the street is amazing. We were looking to do yooperlite rock hunting and the owner set up us for success. Not a 5 stars because of the water. We did some laundry and everything that was white came back rusty/beige. I'm suspecting a high level of tannic acid in the water. Knowing it, don't use the water and you will have a wonderful stay.

I will start with the positives. Great location right across the street from a beautiful beach. For the first time we were in an RV park that was truly a nature experience. You did not feel crowded. Staff was friendly and took us to our final location. The property needs some investment. Driving through with our 40' rig we hit a lot of branches. The roadways and rv spots need gravel and a lot of it. The most important issue was the water. If you fill a coffee pot of water from their well it will look like black tea. Bad smell and not good for your plumbing. We had a three stage filter that had the filters replaced a week prior and they did not help much. (They also need to be replaced since being there). I'm not from that area but I can't imagine that water is safe to drink. As I noted earlier the place needs a bit of investment and something to be done about the water.

We unexpectedly came across Gitche Gumee campground, and boy, we are glad we did. This campground has it all… clean showers/toilets, wooded areas, a stunning beach across the street, and even a brewery! The owners and staff were so friendly and helpful, we honestly could not have stumbled across a better place to camp. It was minutes from Marquette, and a short drive to Pictured Rocks. We could not be happier with our stay, and will be back! Channing brewed some super tasty beer that was available at the brewery! So happy with this place. You can tell how much the owners and employees care about their campground. Thank you!!

We love this place so much that last year we camped here 2 weekends in a row! And looking forward to our stay again this weekend. This place is like out of a book. Unique and fun!! Very friendly owner (Jeff) and great communication. The communal area is just beautiful. Built by the owner years ago, there is a log cabin where you can enjoy a fresh brewed beer. And just across the street from Lake Superior. Bathrooms and shower in great condition and roomy. I’ve recommended this site the many friends.

Do not book a stay here! If you want to sit and reminisce with the owner Jeff that goes fine, but if you have any questions or concerns about your stay forget it. As a business owner he is completely unprofessional and lacks the knowledge to send a simple receipt or email. I needed to change my dates of stay and requested he confirm that I have a credit to be used with the campground. He didn't know how and told me 3 times that he would call me back. I never received a call back. I continued to call daily for 2 weeks without getting through to anyone. They don't even have an answering machine to leave a message on. When he finally answered the phone, when I called from a different phone number, he hung up on me a few sentences into the conversation and didn't answer when I called back. There are no posted prices and Jeff the owner admitted that he doesn't post prices so that he can give whatever quote he wants to people. There was no confirmation of stay and when he offered me a credit because I had to change my stay due to my son's baseball schedule, he had no way to send me confirmation of a credit with the campground. When I was fed up with trying to contact him I asked for a refund and was hung up on. There is nothing on the website that says a patron will be charged at the time of booking. I understand a no refund policy after the point of check in, many companies do that. There were no services rendered so I will continue to work to get my money recovered.
